Do the good people at the Flat Earth Society have any response to 'splain this away? =D

The last time a Flat Earther tried to do science they proved the earth was curved. [1]

The Holographic Principle says that spacetime is 2D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle

(Indeed, though, all of the other rotating bodies in n-body gravity fluid spacetime which are visible from here appear to have assumed the shape of a sphere probably like ~fixed-point attraction; and there's no way to swim to the edge)

Not so much that it is 2D, as that there’s a mathematical transformation you can do that lets you calculate its evolution in a 2D space. Which can be useful.

The “is” question is harder to evaluate, but to the degree it’s a meaningful question I’d say “probably not”.

How do fluids compress at the edge of a rotating 2D disc manifold then?

Maybe it's like Conway's Game or does it wrap around at the edge of the statically-dimensioned tensor?

Is there a transform between Minkowski 4-space rotations and 2D Holographic transformation(s)?

Mustn't they be reversible and locally unitary

(Edit)

PROMPT/QUERY: Generate SymPy with pytest.mark.parametrize tests to _ teach the transform between Minkowski 4-space rotations and 2D Holographic transformation(s)

Do these converge upon a solution when you hit jumble?

(Edit)

From "Minkowski space" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space :

> In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, the isometry group (the maps preserving the regular Euclidean distance) is the Euclidean group. It is generated by rotations, reflections and translations. When time is appended as a fourth dimension, the further transformations of translations in time and Lorentz boosts are added, and the group of all these transformations is called the Poincaré group. Minkowski's model follows special relativity where motion causes time dilation changing the scale applied to the frame in motion and shifts the phase of light.

> Spacetime is equipped with an indefinite non-degenerate bilinear form, variously called the Minkowski metric,[2] the Minkowski norm squared or Minkowski inner product depending on the context.[nb 2] The Minkowski inner product is defined so as to yield the spacetime interval between two events when given their coordinate difference vector as argument.[3] Equipped with this inner product, the mathematical model of spacetime is called Minkowski space. The group of transformations for Minkowski space that preserve the spacetime interval (as opposed to the spatial Euclidean distance) is the Poincaré group (as opposed to the isometry group).

But then how does Minkowski space help understand signals in spacetime with nonlocality and superfluid phases in deep space?

(Edit)

Q: Can a thing causally affect things outside of its light cone?

A: Yes because Nonlocal entanglement

Q: is Minkowski space wrong or inappropriate then? And, Are causal counterfactuals the same as constructor theory counterfactuals?

Flat Earth and other such fringe theories are rarely about the thing itself. So explaining why they're wrong will rarely help because it doesn't answer the questions or resolve the problems that led them there in the first place. The theories are basically a symptom for other things, such as socioeconomic and psychological dynamics.
